<h2>\setlength</h2>


<p><tt>\setlength{len-cmd}{len}</tt></p>


<p>The <tt>\setlength</tt> command is used to set the value of

    a length command, <tt>len-cmd</tt>, which is specified as the

    first argument. The <tt>len</tt> argument can be expressed

    in any terms of length LaTeX understands, i.e., inches (in),

    millimeters (mm), points (pt), etc.</p>
